For Trump it might be an idea to increase pressure on Russia to realise a step down of Putin. That might end the war faster (and might bring a longer lasting peace) than putting pressure on Zelensky to step down. And might be the only chance left to dream about a Nobel price. #Ukraine

De Kamer heeft het kabinet ruim mandaat gegeven om de noodzakelijke hulp, defensie-investeringen en veiligheidsgaranties aan Oekraïne te geven. Teleurstellend en onbegrijpelijk dat het Nederlandse kabinet in Londen geen concrete toezeggingen heeft gedaan. www.rtl.nl/nieuws/binne...

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

As Europeans we have been flooded with messages about the high quality leadership of American politicians in fe the Senate and the House of Representatives. Nowadays I have to conclude that high quality leadership is located in Europe.

What worries me more is what secrets does Trump already handed over to the Russians and how much more is he planning to give away in the future?

An excellent summary by @mcfaulmike.bsky.social of the ‘extortion deal in the making’. The USA is ripping apart a country that is literally fighting to survive. Appalling and disgusting.

Met droefheid nemen wij kennis van het overlijden van minister van Staat Hans van den Broek. Wij hebben diepe waardering voor de onmiskenbare rol die Hans van den Broek voor ons land, Europa en het CDA heeft betekend. Onze gedachten gaan uit naar zijn familie en dierbaren.

This is ridiculous and should not be accepted by Ukraine. Especially when there is no security guarantee. And if there would be: who would believe a security guarantee of Putin and Trump? Also in the eyes of Europe this wouldn’t be acceptable at all. This is 21st century extortion.

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger (head of MI6 from 2014-2020) is a genuine expert and provides concise insight into a complex situation. Not just some talking head with an opinion. Really worth watching. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9pL...

I can not imagine that the Ukraine would be happy with such a deal let alone the EU. This would be another blow to the EU-American and the EU-Ukraine relationship. @eppgroup.bsky.social @ajboekestijn.bsky.social @robdewijk.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

Amazing to see how a trillion dollar Facebook really thinks. Knowing they've been hostile to governments and the free press in Australia and Canada, not surprised to see how they ultimately approached stolen copyrighted material.

It's time to call it. AI is built on a house of cards of intellectual property violations starting with Facebook which is starting to look a lot like a crime scene as held back discovery documents begin to be compelled and unsealed in court. /1

Tariffs drive inflation and hit workers the hardest. It's not good business. Because we need to protect our workers and preserve our interests, unjustified tariffs on the EU will not go unanswered. Of course, we are ready to find agreements that work for all.

Let’s face it: the international policy of Trump is based on extortion. You can name it deals, smart deals but basically it is extortion. Good to see Ukraine doesn’t sign this proposal. The Ukraine & EU should be part of the negotiations @eppgroup.bsky.social @robdewijk.bsky.social

It is time to strengthen the European pillar within NATO. That means the additional EU military spending should be targeted to replace US capacities in the EU in the shortest possible time. The additional budget should be spent in the EU. A common foreign policy in line EU trade policy is needed

The DOGE-approach is the same as the way of working of the tech-industry in new markets; create facts in the market while knowing states need time to react. Before they do, the facts on the ground are (nearly) irreversible. A basic approach. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social
